Chapter 87 Tongtian's 'Enlightenment'
On Kunlun Mountain, in the side hall of Sanqing Hall, Tong Tian was wearing loose clothes and sitting in front of the counter, while Geng Chen took out plates of dishes from the food box.
Along the edge of the plate, there are shrimps that are fried golden and covered with a layer of transparent sauce; There is a plate of mixed mushrooms of various colors.
He brought out three dishes, then Geng Chen brought out a cup of milky white fish soup, and finally brought out a plate of flower-shaped snacks.
All dishes are steaming hot and fragrant.After the dishes were all served, he took the bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Tongtian.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Tong Tian was a little surprised, and said via voice transmission, "Apprentice, how dare you bring so many dishes in today?"Are you not afraid that your second uncle will find out? ' He pointed outside.
"Okay, eat at ease, master," Geng Chen smiled when he heard this, and he also took a pair of bowls and chopsticks for himself, and said in relief.
"Second Senior Uncle has something to go out, Senior Uncle is in retreat, otherwise how would I have the guts?" He pointed to the dishes and soup on the table.
"I told you earlier, I was so worried." Tong Tian patted his small chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Apprentice, what day is it today? You cook so many delicious things?" Tong Tian looked at the dishes, soup, and desserts on the table, licked his lips, and asked casually.
"Does it have to be a special day for me to cook?" Geng Chen tilted his head and looked at him, "Can't it be that I love you, Master, so I cook it for you?"
"Good apprentice! Good apprentice!" Tong Tian felt relieved when he heard that!He gave it a thumbs up. "As a teacher, I know that you are the most filial."
But when he looked down at the dishes on the table, he felt a little dissatisfied again, "Apprentice, I am very happy that you specially cook for me!"
"But why do you cook so bland, don't you remember the taste of being a teacher?" Tong Tian pouted, a little regretful.
"Remember, master, you love spicy and refreshing dishes, but unfortunately, now that you are injured, it is better to eat less of those things." Geng Chen shook his head slowly and explained.
"Ah!!!" Tong Tian had a bitter face when he heard it.
"Okay, okay, don't you know my craft?" Geng Chen comforted me.
"Although there are no big fish or big meat, these dishes are prepared by myself. It took a lot of effort. Try it!" Geng Chen knew that he loves meat, so he put a lobster in his bowl first. , earnestly persuaded.
"Well, it's really good." Tong Tian picked up the chopsticks and picked up the shrimp in the bowl, put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and nodded repeatedly. “It tastes delicious!”
"I picked the most tender prawns, and added special whitebait juice to remove the fishy smell. After cooking for a while, it was naturally delicious." Geng Chen picked up another spring bamboo shoot with chopsticks for him, "Master, You try this again!"
"Yeah." Tong Tian nodded, chewing on the prawns, seeing that he was still picking up vegetables for himself, he quickly brought the bowl over and took the vegetables.
He swallowed the meat in his mouth, and greeted him, "Don't patronize me, you can eat too. I just come by myself."
"Okay." Geng Chen smiled when he heard the words, and he also started to pick up vegetables and eat.
"Good apprentice, you said just now that my second brother has something to go out? What's the matter, where did he go?" Tong Tian asked while eating.
"Second Master said that he suddenly realized the secret. It seems that something related to him happened near Buzhou Mountain, so he set off for Buzhou Mountain." After thinking for a while, Geng Chen replied.
"Oh," Tong Tian nodded after hearing this, and then put it aside and didn't care about it, since it didn't matter to him anyway.
While eating, Geng Chen occasionally lowered his head and saw the small sapphire bell hanging on his waist, and instantly remembered the little bell inlaid with gold and jade.
"Master, can I ask you a question?" His heart moved, and he looked at Tongtian and asked.
"Ask." Tongtian answered naturally.
"Master, Second Master, why did you make so many bells for me?" Geng Chen temporarily put down his chopsticks, looked at him and asked seriously.
"Well," Tong Tian felt a little nervous when he heard him ask this.
"Uh, it's not that you were too naughty when you were young and insisted on a toy, so the second brother made it for you, but at that time, you, Long Xiao, had a big heart, and you were greedy." He joked.
"One is not enough, so the second brother has to make a bunch for you!" Tong Tian cut off the beginning and the end, blocked all the key points, and said the matter.
"It turned out to be like this," Geng Chen matched these words with his memory at the time, and found nothing wrong, but he always felt that something was wrong!
"Apprentice, did someone say anything to you?" Tong Tian couldn't help asking when he saw that his expression was different.
"No!" Geng Chen regained consciousness instantly, and immediately shook his head.
"It's just that I helped Boy Baihe clean up the warehouse two days ago, and found a lot of things sent by the Heavenly Court of the Monster Race, including some bell toys and so on. So, I just want to ask." He replied evasively.
"Master, when I was young, did anyone from the Yaozu Tianting come to Kunlun Mountain?" Geng Chen looked at him and asked tentatively.
"Yes, I come every year," Tongtian Consciousness told the truth.
It can be seen that the apprentice showed a look of surprise, and he immediately remedied, "Uh, you also know that your master and second master don't like the monster race, and you were still young at that time, so we didn't tell you. "
"Oh, so that's the case." Hearing these words, Geng Chen felt a lot more at ease, subconsciously, he still believed the words of his master.
But where did his inexplicable sense of familiarity with that little bell inlaid with gold and jade come from?Geng Chen couldn't figure out the key to it.
"Apprentice, let's eat vegetables," Tong Tian picked up a spring bamboo shoots for him, eagerly urging him to eat.
"Thank you, master." Geng Chen's attention was drawn back by him, and he quickly picked up the bowl and took the food.
"Apprentice, I also have something to ask you." Seeing that he was still not interested, Tong Tian hurriedly changed the subject.
"You ask!" Geng Chen nodded, looked at him and encouraged him.
"Recently, why do you have a strange smell on your body?" Tong Tian leaned closer to him and smelled it.
Geng Chen instantly became nervous, "Master, I, I"
"Is there a new monster tribe coming to Kunlun Mountain?" Tongtian smiled, carefully recalling the strange atmosphere just now, "And it's a rat tribe, isn't it?" He shook his head and guessed.
"Master is really clever." Hearing this, Geng Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's a rat clan. It's called Duobao. It came to Kunlun Mountain the year you went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermon, master. I saw it was cute, so I decided to keep it." Geng Chen Explain the origin of Duobao.
"Since you like it, then stay." Tongtian didn't care much about this, but when he remembered something, he asked again, "Has it transformed?"
"Not yet," Geng Chen shook his head, "However, it should be soon. Duobao's aptitude is not bad." He added.
"Really? Then I can be your companion." Tong Tian nodded thoughtfully and said something.
"Master, is this intentional to accept Duobao as an apprentice?" Geng Chen heard other meanings, glanced at him, and asked.
"Hey! How can it be that easy?" Tongtian quickly waved his hand, "I've never seen it before, so how can I easily promise to take it as a disciple? Even if I see it, it meets my criteria for choosing a disciple. Then at this time You can't take it either."
"Why?" Geng Chen didn't understand, so he asked.
"Silly apprentice, haven't you forgotten the situation you are in as a teacher right now?" Tong Tian took another lobster into his mouth and gave him a look of disdain.
"I made a mistake now, the second brother is confining me! If I dare to propose at this time, I will accept a monster clan, and it is a rat clan! Be an apprentice!"
Tong Tian trembled all over when he thought about it, "No, no, no! The second brother will definitely pick my skin off! Now is definitely not a good time to mention this matter!"
"Then, when is the best time?" Geng Chen asked.
"At least, at least I have to expose the mistake I made before!" Tong Tian took another bite of spring bamboo shoots.
"What about after that?" Geng Chen saw that his cheeks were bulging, afraid that he would choke, so he hurriedly poured a bowl of fish soup for him, and brought it to his mouth.
"After that, of course I will play it by ear," Tong Tian replied after swallowing the soup and vegetables, "When I see the Duobao you mentioned, if its qualifications are really good, then I will consider it." consider."
"After thinking about it, will you agree to accept Duobao as an apprentice?" Geng Chen saw that he had finished drinking the soup, and brought another piece of snack to his mouth.
"No way!" Tong Tian said vaguely with his mouth full, "at least until the second brother also accepts an apprentice, so that I have a reason."
"But the second uncle said that when he comes back, he will go to retreat, and after leaving the retreat, you will go to Zixiao Palace to listen to sermons, when will you have to wait?" Geng Chen frowned.
"That can't be helped," Tong Tian shrugged. "The eldest brother is not here now, and the second brother is the biggest. How can we twist our little arms and legs better than him?"
"Apprentice, in this situation, we have to recognize the situation." He patted Geng Chen on the shoulder. "As the saying goes, those who know current affairs are heroes. And the most important thing for us to practice Taoism is to follow our heart!"
"Follow your heart?" Geng Chen heard this, his heart moved, he looked at Tongtian, and asked seriously, "Master, can I really follow my heart anytime?"
"Of course!" Tong Tian nodded, "Anything can be faked, but the feeling in your heart can't be wrong!" He pointed to Geng Chen's heart.
"If I want to follow my heart, but there are many hardships waiting for me, what should I do?" Geng Chen continued to ask.
"Stupid apprentice, then face up to the difficulties. The most important thing is to be ashamed of your heart." Tong Tian thought that he had encountered some difficulties in cultivating the Tao and was a little discouraged, so he encouraged him a lot.
Hearing this, Geng Chen recalled the strange feeling in his heart when he faced a certain monster. He was afraid to face it at first, but now he heard his master support him so much, and he instantly became full of confidence!
"En!" Xiaolong's eyes seemed to have stars shining very brightly, and he nodded emphatically. "I listen to Master!" He clenched his fist and said seriously, "No matter what difficulties I encounter, I will never give up!"
"Okay!" Tong Tian also nodded, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, approving. "I am a disciple who is as pure as the heavens! That's how I should be! I know that I can't do it, but I do it!"
"Disciple, remember Master's teaching!" Geng Chen got up and walked to the desk, first bowed his hands and bowed, then touched his head to the ground, then straightened up, and replied solemnly.
"This is my good apprentice," Tong Tian was very pleased, "Okay, get up, let's continue eating." He raised his hand and signaled.
"Yes!" Geng Chen smiled, stood up, went back to sit beside him.
Tong Tian thought he had enlightened his apprentice, and he was in a particularly good mood, while Geng Chen understood his inner feelings under his advice, and he was also in a particularly good mood.
Both the master and the apprentice were very satisfied with the conversation, and continued to eat happily.
Next, Gengchen will deliver meals to Tongtian every day, and then the two masters and apprentices will have a discussion. Tongtian will focus on deepening the education of the young apprentice's free and easy character. After hearing more about it, Gengchen becomes more and more convinced up.
After a few days like this, Geng Chen tidied up the room, and as soon as he came out of the Sanqing Hall, he ran into Yuan Shi who had returned.
"Disciple has met the Second Master!" Geng Chen hastily bowed his hands.
"Get up." Seeing his polite appearance, Yuan Shi nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes!" Geng Chen got up, and when he looked up, he saw a person behind Yuan Shi.
This man was wearing a blue dress, with three thousand black hair standing up with a headband of the same color. He had a handsome appearance and looked about 21 or [-] years old, with a sword on his back.
Moreover, his whole temperament is like a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath, showing its sharpness!But his eyes were gentle and clean.
Geng Chen and him looked at each other, but he even curled up his lips and smiled, because of this, he felt that the fierce aura around this person should not be intentional on his part!I'm afraid it's because of the skills!
Eyes are the windows to the soul, Geng Chen thinks he can't see wrong.
"Second Master, this is?" Geng Chen looked at Yuan Shi.
"This is my new disciple," Yuan Shi raised his hand and introduced, "His dao name is Jade Cauldron!"
"What about his name?" Geng Chen asked.
"Uh, what about this," Yuan Shi really didn't think much about it.
He turned his head and glanced at the newly recruited apprentice next to him, and then looked at his little dragon who was looking at him with his head tilted. Yuan Shi really couldn't bear to say that he didn't name the new apprentice at all.
However, when he saw his little dragon, he suddenly had an idea and suggested, "Zhaozhao is like the light of the sun and the moon, and distance is like the journey of the stars! Since your name is Chen, why not call him Zhao."
"My teacher gave you the word 'Yunzhao' as a name, what do you think?" Yuan Shi looked at the young man beside him.
"Disciple, thank Master for giving me the name!" The young man, who was Yu Ding, smiled and saluted respectfully.
"Okay!" Yuan Shi nodded, "Come on, I have met your brother!" He raised his finger to Geng Chen.
Yu Ding stepped forward, Geng Chen also walked towards him, the two stopped at the same time when they were two steps away, and saluted each other.
"Brother!"
"Senior brother!"
Yuan Shi saw that the two of them were polite and generous, and nodded approvingly, "In the future, you will be brothers and sisters, and you must support each other! Communicate more!" He instructed.
"The disciple respectfully obeys the orders of the second master!" Geng Chen bowed to Yuan Shi.
"The disciple respectfully obeys the master's order!" At the same time, Yu Ding, that is, Yun Zhao, also bowed to Yuan Shi.
"Yeah." Seeing that both of them were so obedient, Yuan Shi nodded in satisfaction.
